Welcome back to the Simple Parenting in Queens Podcast everybody! Today we are so lucky to have the Pell Family join us on the show to tell us all about their lives together. John and Kaori have a four-year-old daughter, Naori, and also have two cats! It was so nice for us to reconnect after not seeing each other for some time and this conversation is so honest and open we know you are going to love it. We chat about the college years and how our guests met, their marriage and working out the distance. They tell us about parenting and their expectations going into it, we also discuss bilingualism and living in a multicultural family. We are really lucky to have their daughter, Naori, share a few words and tell us about her cats!
